Abstract excerpt
High-altitude (HA, >2500 m) hypoxic exposure evokes several physiological processes that may be abetted by differential genetic distribution in sojourners, who are susceptible to various HA disorders, such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). The genetic variants in hypoxia-sensing genes influence the transcriptional output; however the functional role has not been investigated in HAPE. This study explored...
